The worst visit I have ever had to the Bunbury Emergency. Triage was quick as it seemed there was hardly anyone there, was sent through to fast track as I needed X-rays. From there 2 different drs came out and asked me personal questions ie when my last period was (in front of other patients) was then brought through - not to a cubicle but to another set of seats in the hallway. After watching people walk past continuously as if I wasn’t there, I finally asked someone if they knew when I would be going to xray (during this time still no pain relief).
Finally went to xray and then back to the bench where I couldn’t even elevate my foot… still no pain killers after having to move my foot in all directions for the X-ray… 6 hours later I got told it was broken, no checks were done on the tendons or ligaments (couldn’t and still can’t see my ankle bone) got told I needed a full moon boot, only hang on, we don’t have one in your size so we will just put a compression bandage on…. Right you're good to go see you later…. Still nothing for the pain but I felt it was a kick in the butt! Felt like I was worthless… felt worse leaving than when I went in :-(
